Cocktail waitress

Cocktail waitress
A cocktail waitress serving drinks.

A cocktail waitress is a type of server who specializes in bringing drinks to patrons of bars, casinos, comedy clubs, live music venues and other drinking establishments and often wears revealing clothing in order to get more tips. Casinos traditionally dress their cocktail waitresses in fancy outfits with very short skirts and pantyhose, while less flashy establishments require waitstaff attire. Often, pantyhose is worn to show off the legs such as the famous Playboy Bunny. In fact, Playboy Bunnies are also featured as cocktail waitresses. As of today, cocktail waitresses are often seen in Las Vegas.
